struct Question

[khal]

my table.h file

private:
static const int size = 9;
struct test{
    bool Info;
    test *next;
};
		
 test*array[size];

my table.cpp

table::table()
{
  for(int i = 0; i < size; i++){
  array[i] = NULL;
  array[i].info = false; //ERROR HERE
  }
}

I am trying to set all my pointer to NULL(which works) but my bool info variable wont set to false. I need to use lazy deletion so every time I enter data into the array I want to set it to true. Could someone explain my error here?

When you have a pointer you have to first dereference the pointer (using operator*) to get what the pointer points to. You can then access the members of the object by using the dot operator (*array[i]).info. You can use the arrow operator as a shorthand array[i]->info for doing the same thing.

array[i] is null witch means that it doesn't point to any object. No object means that there is no info member that you can set to false.
